Not the End, A New Beginning
"What is this?"
"Is it because Utsugi's magic has disappeared?"
"Then your going back to your time?"
"Inuyasha..."
"W-Wait! This is too sudden!"
"..."
"..."
"Inuyasha, its time to say good-bye."
"You're here and gone in a moments notice."
"Don't be silly!"
"..."
"This is it, Inuyasha, I want to tell you something before I go."
"What?"
"Inuyasha I..."
There is a flash of light as she leaves that world behind.
"I...love you"
A girl with short brunette hair wakes up on the floor of her store house. She is wearing the standard junior high school girl uniform. No not the sailor style uniform, thats on the other side of Tokyo. This uniform consisted of a pale yellow sweater vest over a long sleeved polo. The skirt she wore was a plaid, almost gold color that reached mid thigh. The item that stood out the most on this uniform, was the bright blue bow worn at the neckline. Most students hated the tacky bow, but it accented this girl's greyish blue eyes perfectly.
"Huh...where am I? Wait now I remember!" she says as she looks around fantically
"Does this mean I'm home again..."
She runs outside to see many people walking around carrying dolls. It is the Doll Festival of Wishes. That is proof that she is back in her own time.
I'm back, I've come back home! I should feel happy, so how come I don't? she thinks as a single tear falls from her eye, and travels down her cheek.
"Excuse me"
She looks down to see a little girl in a pink kimono, holding a doll. The girls black hair is pulled back in a braid, and she looks at the older girl with concern.
"How come you're sad, is something wrong?"
"No its nothing really.." she says as she wipes her tears away
"Did you come to the festival to make a wish on a doll too? If you write a name on a doll, and toss it away you get to see the person you want."
"Yeah...that sounds pretty neat" she says as she looks at the symbol on the doll
Huh...hang on is this..?!
She recalls it as the symbol used in The Art of Shikigami.
"I see...alright lets go make our wish."
"Okay"
The doll is tossed into the flames, and the little girl watches it burn with her mother. The other girl however stands alone, thinking about all that she experienced.
So this festival is based on Utsugi and the others. She smiles a bit. I'm happy for you Utsugi, you've been laid to rest at the Kururugi shrine...She feels a tap on her shoulder, and a cold voice begins to speak to her.
"I've finally found you! Now go to your room, and get to bed!" the voice belonged to her father.
"Wh-What! Why?"
"Because young lady, you took so long in the store house I had to go get the amulets myself! When I got there you were no where to be found!"
"But..."
"No buts! I don't know what you were doing missy, but you should know better then to take off like that during a festival!"
"But dad!"
"I said no buts, NOW GO!"
"FINE!"
She ran away fro her father in tears. Dad you just don't understand! And...probably wouldn't believe me...Once she reached her house, she ran into her room, and threw herself on her bed.
"ITS NOT FAIR!" she screamed as she sobbed into her pillow
"ITS JUST NOT FAIR! WHY AM I BEING PUNISHED, ITS NOT LIKE I PURPOSELY FELL THROUGH THE FLOOR AND GOT TELEPORTED FIVE-HUNDRED YEARS INTO THE PAST!!"
She rolled over on her back, and looked up at the ceiling. She recalled the friends she left behind...
Inuyasha, Kagome, Miroku, Sango, Shippo...will I ever see you again? she thought as tears spilled over her eyes.
...How is it that I was in the Feudal Era for so long yet...in this world, when I woke up it had only been a few hours. Could it have all been just a dream...No it couldn't have...it was all too real...Her thoughts eventually led her into a peaceful sleep. But her dream was anything but peaceful...
"Ugghh...where am I?"
She wakes up on the forest floor, surrounded by small muti-colored wild flowers. As she lifts her head up, she notices two butterflies flying in the sky above her.
"Hey...what are you doing? Get up!"
Th-That voice it, it couldn't be...were her thoughts
"HEY DIDN'T YA HEAR ME?... Are you okay?" the voice quickly went from anger to concern.
She looked up quickly, and met a pair of golden eyes. Their faces were so close, that their noses almost touched. Her face flamed at the closeness, and she frantically backed away. He immediately stood back up, and blushed slightly as well.
"So...uh...Inuyasha. Where are we?"
"Oh we're..uh..a bit west of Minamo village..."
"Oh...umm Inuyasha"
"Yeah"
"Where's everybody else..."
"Oh...uh..umm" his blush got deeper, with every word he tried to say
"I umm...brought you here, so we could be alone..."
"Wh-Wha-What?" her own blush became darker
"I err...heard what you said before you went back to your time." he said staring at his feet
So I really did come back! she thought
"And...umm..I..I"
"You?" she said nerviously
"I...I f-feel the same way..." he replied
"Wh-What!? What do you mean?"
Oh wait now I remember... ! she thought
"Inuyasha its time to say good-bye"
"You're here and gone in a moments notice"
"Dont be silly!"
"..."
"This is it Inuyasha, I want to tell you something before I go"
"What?"
"Inuyasha I..."
"I...love you"
"I love you too..." he said looking into her eyes
"In-Inuyasha..."
He closed his eyes, and began closing distance between them. She flushed bright red, and closed her own eyes. She felt his warm breath on her face, as she prepared herself for what was about to happen. There was barely a centimeter between their lips...
"KURURUGI, WAKE UP RIGHT NOW!!"
She opened her eyes in shock to find that she was back in her room. She had never left...I-It was only a dream...she thought. She looked over at the alarm clock on her nightstand. It read 7:40 AM.
"AHHHHH!! I'M GONNA BE LATE!!"
She flung herself out of bed, and rushed over to her vanity. She looked in the mirror, and noticed a dark blush staining her cheeks.
"Ughh! Great this blush will probably last all day!"
She grabbed a new uniform, and ran into the bathroom across the hall to change. While she was in there, she splashed cold water on her face. Yet when she looked back into the mirror, the blush shone through the coat of water.
"..I don't have time to be worrying about this!"
She ran from the bathroom into the kitchen. Her father was seated at the kitchen table, having his morning cup of coffee. Her mother was standing over the stove making sunny-side up eggs. She walked over to the cupboard, and pulled out the bread. While she was walking over to the toaster, her father decided to speak up.
"Ahh finally awake I see!"
She growled under her breath as she put some white bread into the toaster.
"Honey would you like some eggs?" said her ever so cheerful mother
"No thanks mom." she smiled and stated politely
Mrs. Kururugi turned to face her daughter, and jumped back.
"Oh dear, are you sick? Your face is beat red!" she said pointing out her blushing face
"Oh dear..." she continued while moving over to her, and placing her hand on her forehead
"Hmm..you don't feel warm. Would you like to stay home from school today?"
"Uhh...no mom I'm fine really!" she smiled and waved her hands in front of her
"Ok well if your sure..."
"Ha probably got sick from going out with out permission!" her father stated over his cup of coffee
"NO!" she snapped staring at the toaster impatiently
"Now listen here young lady I..."
She rolled her eyes, and glanced at the stove clock
"Oh boy look at the time! Gotta go!"
With that she shoved the slightly brown toast into her mouth, and ran out the house. Her mother smiled as she waved good bye, while her father huffed and muttered something incoherent. The sun was rising high over the tallest shrine. A sure sign that she was going to be late. While running down the numerous shrine steps, her head was filled with the same thoughts as last night.
"Sigh..."
I wonder if I could ever go back there, I mean that dream felt so real..She put a hand to her face and felt heat. Sure enough the blush was still in full force.
Oh I don't have time do be thinking about something like that! They're in the past, and I'm in the future! And thats the way its supposed to be...I need to focus on being a junior high student... she thought glumly as she got on the bus. The bus ride was a blur as her thoughts continued to take her back to the dream. As soon as she stepped off the bus, the last tone sounded. That signified that she was indeed very late!
"Oh great..." she groaned as she ran toward the building.
Once she got inside, she quickly ran down a rather long hallway toward her homeroom. Her teacher Mr.Yumiko was taking attendance. Mr. Yumiko was a short, bald man who closely resembled a leprechaun, dwarf, or other mythical creature. But his personality did not match his appearence. Oh no, Mr.Yumiko was a stern, mean, old teacher. In fact probably the oldest teacher in the school! He was very impatient, and always gave a ton of homework. If you got on his bad side..whew..good luck getting into high school. Unfortunately for Kururugi...she was on his bad side.
"Tomo!"
"Present!"
"Sayko!"
"Here!"
"Yuka!"
"Yeah!"
"Kururugi!"
"..."
"Kururugi?"
At that moment she arrived to the door frame, and stood there panting.
"H-H...H..Here!" she managed to get out
"KURURUGI! This is the third time this week you've been late!"
"Uggh..." she groaned knowing she would have to go through the standard apology...again. Before she began she heard several of her classmates snicker at her. They all knew she was just doing to fly through it like she usually did. She took a deep breath.
"I'msorryMr.Yumikoforattendingclasslateonceagain,andmyfellowstundentsI'msincerelysorryfordelayingyour
learningtodayitwillnothappenagain."
She let out a long breath, and Mr.Yumiko blinked at her in amazement a few times.
"Uhh..yes see that it does not. Take your seat."
As she walked across the classroom to her desk in the back, she earned many high-fives. As well as more snickers of laughter. She sat down at her desk, and girl with black shoulder length hair turned around in front of her. Her coco-puff (lol sammi!) colored eyes shone with laughter. This was Kururugi's best friend.
"Oh...wow Kururugi that was great!"
"Hahaha ya really think so?"
"Hahaha y-yeah I swear I think thats the fastest its ever been said!" the girls continued laughing together
"Kururugi, Mai! Silence!"
"Sorry Mr.Yumiko..." they responded in unison
Mai turned back around, and began to pay attention to the lesson. Kururugi however looked dreamingly (I don't know if thats a real word...lets just say it is ) toward the window. She tuned out the classroom, and got lost in her thoughts.
I wonder what they're all doing right now...I mean I think we finally defeated Naraku...but...What did Utsugi mean when she said "I can't live like this again, under Naraku's control..." Wait! Does that mean Naraku's not really dead!? NO it can't be!
"KURURUGI!" Mai yelled
"Huh..wha...? she picked her head off her desk.
"Jeez...come on class is over. I called your name five times!"
"Huh...y-you did?"
"Yeah, wow you must be really out of it..."
She grabbed her books, and stumbled to her feet hastily. She suddenly felt very sick, just thinking that Naraku could still be alive.
"Oh...sorry Mai"
"Hey are you feeling okay? Your face is completely white!"
"...No, no I'm alright!"
"Well ok come on!" Mai said grabbing her hand, leading her out of the classroom
N-No, no he can't be...she thought while being dragged through the halls.
"Come on hurry up!"
"Hey...whoa!" she said almost tripping
"Whats your hurry!? You're never in such a hurry to get to lunch...hmmm?"
Mai turned around, and revealed the slight blush on her face. Kururugi smirked evily.
"Oh I see...It's a boy isn't it?"
Mai looked at Kururugi in pure shock.
"Wh-What? You're never able to tell about this kinda stuff! You're always so clueless!" Mai stated as Kururugi kept on smirking
"Well...maybe I've changed?" she said walking past her shocked friend triumphantly. Walking past her, and right into someone...knocking them both to the ground.
"Hey watch it!" Her eyes widened in the male uniform shirt. That voice, huh...t-there's no way...she thought still atop the person.
"Hey whats your problem!? Get off'a me!" he yelled trying to move out from underneath her. When she finally lifted her head off his chest, she was met with two familar golden eyes. W-What g-golden eyes!! I only know...well knew one person with golden eyes!! she thought in disbelief
"Gahhh! What the hell is wrong with you!?" he said frustrated standing back up, leaving her on the ground.
She looked up at him again. He didn't have Inuyasha's long, wild, silver hair. Instead this guy had same long length midnight-black hair. His face...his face looked exactly like Inuyasha's. He crossed his arms over his chest in a very Inuyasha-like way, and glared at her.
"What so now you're gonna stare at me!" he shouted annoyed
A blush covered her face as she redirected her graze to the ground. She tried to speak, but what came out was all wrong.
"Umm..yes" he raised an eyebrow at her. If possible her blush became darker.
"I-I-I mean...no...NO! Its just.."
"What?" by his tone she could tell he was really annoyed
Oh nothing... its just that you look EXACTLY like a guy I had a huge crush on, thats all. but she couldn't say that! Instead she looked over at Mai. She looked shocked still, but had sported a blush that matched her own.
"Ugggh.." he groaned fed up
She turned her attention to him, but he was gone...
"Hey you wanna get off the ground..?" Mai said finally as she offered her hand to help her off the floor. She looked up to see that this little encounter had drawn a crowd. Many girls had sympathetic looks, but many guys were holding back their laughter. She grabbed Mai's hand, but only raised herself half way. She kneeled on the floor, and gathered up her scattered books. The books were thrown every which way because of the sudden impact. She felt a tear cascade down her cheek, and watched it land on her algebra book. Why am I crying over something so stupid!? So what if he looks and sounds like him...that doesn't mean anything!... Still that really couldn't have been him...could it?
"Hey come on..." Mai said softly pulling her to her feet. She got to her feet, and leaned on her friend. They walked through the crowd into the lunch room. Kururugi tried not to dwell on the fact she just acted like an idiot in front of half the school. But what they were greeted with didn't help much...
Over in the corner of the room there were some guys imitating her. One guy was a the floor in a similar position she was just in. The other stood in front of him with his arms crossed, glaring. They had gathered a crowd who were all laughing at them.
"What now your gonna stare at me!?" the guy with his arms crossed yelled.
"Umm...yes" the guy on the floor replied in a girly voice. The other guy raised an eyebrow at him.
"Oh wait...I-I mean Nooo!! NO!" the guy on the floor said once again in an overly dramatic girly voice
"What?" the other guy said. The guy on the floor started loud, fake sobbing.
"...I...I...WAAHHH!! 'feh' "
Kururugi immediately turned her gaze to where she had heard it. There in the shadows near the pop machines, were two golden eyes piercing through the darkness. They were darting back and forth between her, and the scene that played before him. He disappeared back into the the shadows, and left her sight.
T-Thats it I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!! Th-This is TOO much!! her mind screamed at her. The tears came again, but this time it was more then just a single tear. Yes, the flood gates opened...and there was no closing them. Mai noticed her distress, and grabbed her arm to whisper in her ear.
"Hey come on don't let it..." but before she could finish Kururugi ripped herself away from her grasp, and left the room sobbing. She ran out the lunchroom doors, and into the nearest bathroom. She ran into the bathroom, and sat down facing a corner. She brought her knees up to her chest and sobbed. Not caring about the cold she felt because of her short skirt. She was just so frustrated and upset, she yelled out not caring who heard her.
"Ugghh...I hate this! I hate this school! Arrggh...I hate guys they're so STUPID!" She began banging her head against her knees with every word. "STUPID, STUPID, STUPID, STU-" she heard a noise on the wall beside her. She brought her head up, and saw a Nike tennis shoe up against the wall. Along with that their were a pair of legs wearing Khaki uniform pants. "Stupid huh..? You're the one in the guys bathroom. Seems like YOU'RE the stupid one." Her eyes widdened, and she looked up to see a guy. But not just any guy, the guy who she ran into. Guy who looked just like...Inuyasha. He had an arrogant smirk on his face, and he was looking at her like she was an idiot.
"Well...you gonna sit in here all day?"
That immediately snapped her out of her trance. Oh no! I'm in the guys bathroom!! She quickly scanned the small, slightly smelly room. The walls were the faded blue, completely opposite of the cheery pink walls in the girls room. Most of the doors were stuck ajar, most likely because of their rusty hinges. There were empty bottles and trash scattered throughout the small room. Wow no wonder the guys are always complaining to the student council! This place is a dump! She confirmed much to her relief that they were the only ones in there. She began to stand up, but then heard a toilet flush. That froze her in place as she adverted her eyes to the very last stall. A pair of legs were about to open the door. She panicked, and turned her attention to the guy still beside her.
"Hey" she whispered
He looked at her surprized and spoke in an annoyed tone.
"What!?"
"Shhh..you're taller than me right?"
"What?"
She heard the sound of a stall door opening. She didn't even think, and just ran behind the guy. He turned his head to look at her in surprize.
"Hey! What are you...Shhh" he glared at her
"Shhh..just don't move!" she whispered
"Hmmph.." he crossed his arms again, but stayed put.
The other guy in the bathroom left the stall, and went over to the sinks. Meanwhile Kururugi was hiding behind a guy she didn't even know! She just prayed that he wouldn't move. Please don't move, please don't move, please don't move...The other guy finished washing his hands, and was now walking toward them. She could feel beads of sweat forming on her forehead with every step he took. Her plees soon became more frantic. Ohpleasedon'tmove, pleasedon'tmove, pleasedon'tmove! The guy stood in front of them, and eyed her savior suspiously. She gulped, but he just kept his arms crossed, and glared at him. The guy left the bathroom leaving them alone.
"Whew..." she let out a sigh of relief, but just then the tone sounded. He rushed toward the door and began to open it.
"Wait!" she yelled out
"What!?" he said once again in an annoyed tone
"I-I..umm can you help me get outta here..?"
"Uhh.."
"Please..?" she said with puppy eyes filled with tears
"Ok, ok..sheesh! Just don't start cryin again!"
"Oh Than-" she started to say but was cut off.
"So any ideas on how you're gonna get out of here unseen?"
"Uhh hehe..not really.." she replied scratching the back of her head sheepishly. He slapped his hand against his forehead in frustration.
"Okay.." he said through closed teeth. "Come here" he motioned for her to stand behind him. She walked over so that she was standing behind him once again.
"Just stay behind me" he whispered as he put his hand on the door. "Ready?"
"Uh huh" she nodded as he pushed open the door.
They were met with an empty hallway, and lunchroom. A rolled up paper even flew across the floor resembling a tumbleweed. He turned around to face her with arms crossed, and eyes narrowed.
"Lemme guess..the tone sounded so everyone's in their classes?" he asked. She responded with nervous laughter, and looked down at the ground. Oh man..how could I have forgot that everyone was in their classes after the tone! Ughh I'm so dumb!
"Thought so...idiot" he said as he began to walk away. She looked back up quickly.
"W-Wait!"
He turned around, and looked at her angerly
"Now what!?"
"Wh-Whats your name? My name is Kaname Kururugi." she said blushing. Oh..oops..O my god..I gave my first name to him! In my household you don't do that unless.. He looked at her a little shocked, but quickly hid it with a scowl.
"It's Inuyasha can I go now?" he said casually. But that name immediately put her in a state of shock.
W-Wait a minute Wh-Wh-Wh-WHAT!!? Th-There's no way...he's in the Feudal Era and...she was brought out of her thoughts when she heard him finally leave her. She felt light headed, and needed to sit down. She was also slightly disappointed that he left her. None the less she calmed down, and began walking toward her classroom. All while her head was filled with thoughts about Inuyasha...in her time?
A/N: Yep thats the first chapter, whew pretty long! I don't know if the others will be that long! If any peoples are interested, next chapter will be up soon! Oh and as a side note Kururugi may seem like a crybaby, but shes just very emotional after returning home.
